routing loops on unify
Sat Aug 22, 2026 · 03:01 PM EDT
Yes, we're in. Full path is working:
• Jump tunnel (localhost:9999 → clearsigint.com → fscwr) — had to restart it, it had dropped
• SSH to UDM (root@192.168.1.1) — connected fine
Gateway is RB-UDM-MAX-1010, UniFi OS 5.1.26, up 10 days 14 hours, load average a healthy 1.52 / 2.02 / 1.99 (much lower than yesterday's 3.7 — no tshark running). What do you need on it?
please some some diagnostics on this now please because the network is acting up...
Here's what I found. The good news is the gateway itself is healthy — but there's one clear culprit for the network acting up:
The Problem: tlprt0 Routing Loop
47 occurrences in dmesg (ongoing, not just boot-time):
wireguard: tlprt0: possible loop detected, dropping skb of size 65216
tlprt0 is the Teleport VPN tunnel. It's in a routing loop — packets destined for somewhere are being sent back into the Teleport interface, which detects the loop and drops them. This typically happens when:
• A Teleport client connects and its assigned IP range conflicts with an existing route
• Someone changed a Teleport network/subnet setting recently
• Notably: riccardo anselmo deleted 6 Teleport clients on 19 Aug — if new clients reconnected with conflicting routes, that could trigger this

Also: ubios-udapi-server is flooding syslog with "No slot available for legacy unicast reflection" — this is mDNS/Avahi related, likely a device on the LAN spamming multicast queries. Not a direct cause of the network issue but worth watching.
What to Check
• Who is connected to Teleport? Go to UniFi → VPN → Teleport Clients and see if any recently-reconnected device has a subnet that overlaps with your LAN or site-to-site WAN pool.
• Disconnect/reconnect any active Teleport clients — the loop clears itself once the offending route is gone.
• The mDNS flood: if you can identify a specific device hammering multicast queries, that's worth isolating.
Want me to pull the Teleport client routing info directly from the UDM to pinpoint the conflicting subnet?
